Donald Trump announces plans to build wall on Mexican border and restrict immigration from Muslim countries in Africa

Donald Trump is to announce his infamous plan to build a wall on the US-Mexico border as promised along with a series of hardline immigration policies this week.


The President's team in the White House is preparing to rollout a series of executive orders around immigration and national security.


The key moves will include details on two of Trump's most controversial campaign pledges; building a wall on the Mexican border and reducing immigration from Muslim countries.


Trump tweeted last night: "Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall!"



According to the Washington Post, several 'Angel Moms' - mothers who've lost a family member to crime committed by an illegal immigrant - could be present at Trump's announcement.


Later in the week Trump will sign several executive orders restricting immigration to the United States from Muslim countries, it is believed.


The new President will restrict access to the US for refugees and some visa holders from countries including Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, it has been claimed.


The report came via Reuters who spoke to several congressional aides and immigration experts briefed on the matter.


The announcement will be made on Wednesday at the US Department of Homeland Security.
